Maria has a good post today on how to eat in a food desert, so I thought I'd post a pic of my last haul from Scott's Farm, a coop in Zellwood. I buy for me and my guy, and also send some fresh veggie care packages to my daughter in college.
I like buying from our neighboring farms and growers. For one thing, it supports the local community, and independent operations like Scott's Farm. Also, the food is reasonably priced and delicious. I got all of the above for nine bucks. In the grocery store just the bag of corn would have been ten bucks. If you have a chance, definitely check our your local farmer's markets, u-picks and coops.

Sadly, there's no such place near me. :(
Maria, I wish I could find a place like that. I will definitely check to see if we've got one locally.
